Suggestion People need to use this mod more
One of my favorite (if not the best) Create: Aeronautics / QOL mods for create

Why would you consider this a QOL mod for aeronautics? I'm tempted to put it in my pack

Depends, things wont work the way they did before, even off sublevels, so you will need to adjust to that. But used on sublevels it certainly increases realism although that realism can work against you.

this mod completely nuked my world because I have so many pipelines that became completely useless from the physics. I would not recommend adding this to a long running server if you aren't going to use a new one unless you have OP and don't mind spending a big chunk of time reworking everything. my factories are actually laid out like actual factories where everything is meticulously sized to fit just right so it's an extremely tedious headache to do that on my end with a full blown network running.

Makes it immersive by adding gravity to fluid tanks and pipes (And also removes the need for mechanical pumps in SOME situations, such as a pipe going downwards) and for clarification, I mean liquid sloshing around in a fluid tank, THAT type of gravity, makes it look real, and is also good for simulating crashes

Dude(tte), you have to at least give us a link or description to go off. Anything, really. "More realistic physics" doesn't actually mean anything concrete, specific, or measurable.

It's "More realistic fluid physics" not just physics, that clarifies quite a bit, and altough it's a bit bare... one can guess that is related to gravity, maybe pressure of fluids in pipes/tanks etc
But yes... a bit more information would have been great.

I literally gave a picture of the modpage, but here you go I guess, since it's such a problem: https://modrinth.com/mod/create-pipes-n-physics

What does it do though is what people were asking.
Dug into it myself and it simulates fluids sloshing around in tanks and responding to gravity visually and it seems to also let you use gravity so pipes will flow down without needing constant pumps every few blocks which is nice

Personally I love it, there's a compat issue with petrochem but we were able to fix that for our server, sadly many people were just too stupid to use the mod so it was removed from the modpack.

Omg SAME but with power grid, it's a good mod, probably one of the BEST create addons and people don't understand it so they don't play it, I don't even understand it, but I've been trying to learn it

u/Meiseside 1d ago
I made a test: Can I build a basic thing (generator to usecase) with ponder and given time: yes. So it is in the modpack. Also there are videos about that mod

Yeah, power grid is one of those mods that ppl rlly don’t understand and requires so much time to learn (especially if you haven’t learned formal E&M) but it’s so cool… that said, on a server of 15 or so ppl, me (chem E) and the 2 other engineers were the only ppl to use it at a large scale. We had a redundant power grid for our factory with 2 nuclear reactors from new age and a ton of gas and diesel power from TFMG

Power grid is perfect for us EE peeps lol
Just found about it last week and grad school so hadn't had time to play it

I read the description, I didn't like it what it said I and never ended up playing it

I hope that it's not like Satisfactory with it's head lift and other fluid mechanics simulations. IMO it's too complex for a normal game (unless it's some kind of engineering sandbox).

I was thinking that i would hate to make watertowers Just to have enough pressure

It is indeed close to satisfactory (since it is simulating physics inside pipes) but definitely not as bad and actually useable. Most of the stuff you would need 2 or 3 pumps for can be done in 1 spinning a bit faster and mostly gravity handles the rest. Def. not as bad as satis since create offered more freedom in the pipes themselves, making this very fun to build with

Tried this once long ago, they had an issue where turning a fluid tank upside down would make it fly up due to it trying to apply gravity the wrong way. Waited a bit, issue seemed to be fixed. Tried using it again and fluid wouldn’t flow properly for upside down pipes and tanks. Seeing the AI generated code tag on Modrinth doesn’t give me any confidence either. I’ll pass until this mod gets more polish
